4. NANarrator
  (laughs)
5. LCLouis C.K.
  Hey.
6. JRJoe Rogan
  What's going on?
7. JLJoe List
  Hey.
8. JRJoe Rogan
  So, let me first say, that fucking movie is great.
9. JLJoe List
  Thank you.
10. JRJoe Rogan
  It's really good. I really enjoyed it. I fucking laughed hard-
11. JLJoe List
  Thank you.
12. JRJoe Rogan
  ... when they, the family in Maine. Holy shit-
13. JLJoe List
  Mm-hmm.
14. JRJoe Rogan
  ... was that great, with Nick Di Paolo-
15. JLJoe List
  Nick Di Paolo.
16. JRJoe Rogan
  ... Tony V. Oh, my God, it's very funny.
17. JLJoe List
  That makes me feel good. Thank you.
18. LCLouis C.K.
  Thank you.
19. JRJoe Rogan
  It's really good, it's really good, it's really good.
20. JLJoe List
  Thank you.
21. JRJoe Rogan
  You're a good actor, Joe.
22. JLJoe List
  Oh, well, thank you. I appreciate that.
23. JRJoe Rogan
  You're really good, man.
24. JLJoe List
  I-
25. JRJoe Rogan
  You're really good.
26. JLJoe List
  Thank you. I have very little training. But I was playing myself. We wrote it, so a lot of real emotions.
27. LCLouis C.K.
  It doesn't matter, though, if you play yourself, 'cause you have to play moments, you have to play feelings-
28. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
29. LCLouis C.K.
  ... you have to listen. And I didn't know if he was gonna be any good. It had to be him, because it was his story. We wrote it together, I directed it, and, uh, but I didn't know if he would have the mechanics right. But he's very natural. I never had to talk to him once during the filming. It was just, you know-
30. JLJoe List
  (laughs)
15:00 – 30:00
Yeah. …
1. LCLouis C.K.
2. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
3. LCLouis C.K.
  Yeah.
4. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah, that's what I'm getting to. It's like, uh, I've, I thought about that too because a lot of people are starting to do that now. Like Schultz released his po- his, uh, new special completely on his website.
5. LCLouis C.K.
  Yeah.
6. JRJoe Rogan
  And, uh, a lot of people are doing those kind of things now because you, you do encounter these problems with streaming services and-
7. LCLouis C.K.
  Mm-hmm.
8. JRJoe Rogan
  ... censorship and just weird-
9. LCLouis C.K.
  Yeah.
10. JRJoe Rogan
  ... just having their input on content. It's not fun.
11. LCLouis C.K.
  No, of course not. And, uh, they have, 'cause when you're on a streaming service or on any platform, they have their own problems.
12. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
13. LCLouis C.K.
  And because they're all owned by larger and larger corporations, um, they have to, they can't do anything that wiggles too much. So they have just too many concerns. And that's the way I look at it. It's not like oppression. It's just like they're too, they're too-
14. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
15. LCLouis C.K.
  ... mixed in with other shit to be my boss 'cause I want to be able to fuck around and have fun.
16. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
17. LCLouis C.K.
  So, you know. And so for me, I mean, I've been doing this since like 2010 when I put my first special onto my website, um, and I like it. I like the way it, the feeling of it. Everybody that's bought a ticket to one of my shows or has bought one of my shows is on my email list.
18. JLJoe List
  Mm-hmm.
19. LCLouis C.K.
  So they get told. Um, it's different now because social media's, and the algorithm is a kind of a giant suck. It's like-
20. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
21. JLJoe List
  It does suck.
22. LCLouis C.K.
  It does, well, it's like everything is directed to you. You're told what's coming next by the algorithm. It's tailored to each person and it's hard. People have less of an impulse to look around and to find their own shit, you know?
23. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
24. LCLouis C.K.
  Nobody, nobody picks up a flyer anymore. What is this s- strange thing? You know, going to midnight movies. The kind of way that people used to find things outside of the corporate sort of old algorithm of advertising, now they can just kind of just keeps coming to your phone so you know what's coming. So I think though that people are starting to want to make more of an effort to find their own shit, to find something that's not, you know?
25. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
26. LCLouis C.K.
  That's not in that thing. So I, that's why I like to keep my website the same and the same model and the same way I've always done it 'cause we keep getting more people that, you know. And that's the feeling we got when the movie was in the theater. It's not like the other shit that's out right now. It's not a Marvel movie and it's not about a Black girl with one leg who persevered and it's not-
27. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
28. LCLouis C.K.
  You know.
29. JLJoe List
  It's about a white guy with two legs that perseveres.
30. LCLouis C.K.
  Yeah, yeah, exactly, who didn't persevere that well, but who did, did his best.
30:00 – 45:00
Jesus. …
1. JRJoe Rogan
  they, uh, they, they fight bare knuckle, they headbutt each other-
2. LCLouis C.K.
  Jesus.
3. JRJoe Rogan
  ... elbow each other. It's fucking ruthless.
4. JLJoe List
  Ugh.
5. LCLouis C.K.
  They must not last very long, those fighters.
6. JRJoe Rogan
  I had the, the main guy, David Leduc, uh, in here, the, the champion and he's fucking the nicest guy in the world.
7. JLJoe List
  Wow.
8. JRJoe Rogan
  So nice and funny and, uh-
9. JLJoe List
  Yeah.
10. JRJoe Rogan
  ... is a vegan.
11. JLJoe List
  Hm.
12. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
13. LCLouis C.K.
  Neat.
14. JRJoe Rogan
  Interesting cat.
15. LCLouis C.K.
  Wow.
16. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
17. LCLouis C.K.
  It's weird to, when people pass, when people get knocked out, the stuff their bodies do.
18. JRJoe Rogan
  Oh, yeah.
19. LCLouis C.K.
  Like, their arms going up in the air.
20. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah.
21. LCLouis C.K.
  Like remember when Ricky Hatton got knocked out by Pacquiao, I think.
22. JRJoe Rogan
  Mm-hmm.
23. LCLouis C.K.
  And he did this weird, his... And they start snoring right away.
24. JRJoe Rogan
  Right away, yeah.
25. LCLouis C.K.
  Fucking must be horrible.
26. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah. The first time I ever saw someone knocked out that's what was so, uh, weird about it was the snoring.
27. LCLouis C.K.
  Mm-hmm.
28. JRJoe Rogan
  Instantaneous snoring.
29. JLJoe List
  What if it, do you-
30. LCLouis C.K.
  If you don't snore in your regular life, do you snore when you get knocked out? Or is it only snorers who snore?
45:00 – 59:48
(laughs) …
1. JRJoe Rogan
  the fights are about to come out."
2. LCLouis C.K.
  (laughs)
3. JRJoe Rogan
  Looks like... It would be so much easier to just pay for it.
4. LCLouis C.K.
  Yes, just pay for it.
5. JRJoe Rogan
  And this was on television.
6. LCLouis C.K.
  Yes.
7. JRJoe Rogan
  I had money, but it was just like so con- I just loved the fact, "Look what I've got. Gosh."
8. LCLouis C.K.
  I liked the stealing it.
9. JRJoe Rogan
  And it was also like all the porn, like you get all the porn channels. It was like constantly on porn.
10. LCLouis C.K.
  Yes.
11. JRJoe Rogan
  It's just crazy. Like this is... Back in the day, we had to go to a DVD store and go through the embarrassing beads.
12. LCLouis C.K.
  Oh, God. Yes.
13. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
14. LCLouis C.K.
  The beaded door to that room. And there's a guy at a section you wanna be at, but you don't wanna...
15. JRJoe Rogan
  You don't wanna go close to him. (laughs)
16. LCLouis C.K.
  You don't want to be shoulder to shoulder with him. Like, "I saw that one."
17. JRJoe Rogan
  Kids today will never understand.
18. LCLouis C.K.
  I'll never... I remember when there was VHS tapes and they had glitches in them and there would always be one point where there's a big, like, you know, it would get fuzzy on the screen, because that's where the last guy kept rewinding that mom- that was his cum moment.
19. JRJoe Rogan
  (laughs)
20. LCLouis C.K.
  So he kept going back and back. So that right at a very big cum shot, this is it.
21. JRJoe Rogan
  (Laughs) (screeching noise)
22. LCLouis C.K.
  Those were the days. We were all sharing porn then.
23. JRJoe Rogan
  Yeah, we all would make copies.
24. LCLouis C.K.
  Yeah.
25. JRJoe Rogan
  There was this pool hall that I used to go to. My friend Brian had two VCRs and he would always tell, "Oh, I got a good one, man. I gotta go." He was a hilarious dude. He's like, "I got a fucking good one, man. You gotta get this one." And he'd like hand out copies to everybody.
26. LCLouis C.K.
  Mm-hmm.
27. JRJoe Rogan
  He wanted everybody to be jerking off-
28. LCLouis C.K.
  He's a nice guy.
29. JRJoe Rogan
  ... to what he was jerking off too.
30. LCLouis C.K.
  (Laughs) Yeah. What a sweetheart.
